So it's been awhile...

Sorry for the lack of posts. No real excuses. Busy at work, busy at home, blah, blah, blah...

My Variety colleague Mike Schneider called me out of my derelict posting duties so now I feel the need to refresh.... here goes... This is in dedication to former Herald Examiner and LA Times sports columnist's Allan Malamud's Notes on a Scorecard...

Had lunch with Paula Malcomson of "Deadwood" yesterday. What a spunky gal! Just like her character, Trixie, on the show. Curses like a sailor and full of spirit. She has seven dogs and is looking for a series to show off her thespian talents. There's got to be something out there for her...

Any "Rescue Me" watchers out there? What did you think of the controversial final scene last week with Denis Leary and Andrea Roth?...

Who you got in the World Cup? Brazil looks tough at this point...

Went to the Dodgers game Saturday night and my friend Michael Speier's daughter was on the Diamond Vision scoreboard. A star is born....

I was disappointed in "Superman," especially after reading all the great reviews. I didn't see a huge improvement off the original and Brandon Routh was a bit of a bore, in my opinion...

Seeing "Devil Wears Prada" tonight. Looks like it could be fun....

Lets hope "Entourage" improves off last Sunday's poor episode and that it gets back on track from the first two winning episodes of the season....

More to come....
